Tax Disk Falls Off!

[84Stoney]

I have a tax disk holder, of the type with a chrome surround that screws together with little allen bolts, then sticks to the window with little clear sticky pads. I actually have two, one for my local parking permit.

Hopefully you know the type I mean?

Well both of them are a couple of years old and have been in and out of a few cars. The sticky pads are now useless, and I have both disks on the dash tray, above the heater vents. Trouble is, everytime I accelerate (hard), they end up down the side of my seat, or even in the back!

I have no idea where to get this little sticky bits from! They have to be clear so as not to look stupid! Any ideas? Other than spend £30 on two new ones, which come with them, of course.

Doing my head in!!!

Their the richbrook type i assume?

If you go to Halfords or somewhere like that. They do Richbrook spares kits.

Comes with clear sticky pads, new allen key, and a couple of new screws.

Thought my description was a bit crap, so got the camera out:

Thanks for the help guys, expect one of them will solve it.

@Stav, it's not a Richbrook, but that type, yes.

Well the richbrook kits will work then mate,

Like Stav said you can get the spare sticky pads from Halford or motorworld too

Or you can get a big roll of "sticky dots" (in various sizes) from most office supply shops and/or craft shops.

They look more like motorcycle types, which have to be bolted on or a chav will steal it and claim the tax back.

Sticky pads are available at DIY stores though, B&Q should have a selection.

Thanks for all the replys.

Got them from Halfods in the end.

While I was there, I accidentally shorted the vanity light, trying to change the bulb.

This blew out all the interior lights and the alarm/central locking! Only a fuse, of course.

What better place to blow a fuse, than outside Halfords!

I've had nothing but trouble with the Richbrook type in the past - falling off, needing an allen key to change the tax disc. I had one that was twist release instead of allen keys which wasn't too bad.

I got a Lexus tax disc holder from my dealer and that is great I think. Just a circular magnetic ring and a piece of very thin metal. Works a treat and is much thinner than the Richbrook type.

Also I was impressed with the price, only about 6.99 I think.

Or you could become an LOC Gold member and recieve your very own LOC tax disc and card holder.

Uhm...don't think I got one.

Have I been stitched up then?
